The image captures some very interesting architectural details and history! Composition with the spire slightly offset from center is effective here with a slight feeling of imbalance that seems to reinforce the steep topography of this hillside. Your efforts to stabilize the hand-held shot appear to have paid off since the image certainly has acceptable sharpness.
The hillside appears slightly flat and two dimensional due to the close tonal range of all the structures and ruins there. I took the liberty of increasing the contrast with a curves layer and to my eye it increases the sense of depth. At the same time it emphasized the noise in the sky - so a better approach would be to mask out the sky and just apply the contrast increase to the hillside. |

I came across this image of the night sky at Mt. Shasta published on the internet by PictureCorrect at https://www.picturecorrect.com/news/photo-mount-shasta-at-night/. In particular the foreground is handled nicely I thought, and perhaps gives you some ideas on how to treat the foreground in your night sky shots. Cheers! |

The line of white water running across the creek gives a nice lead-in to the autumn foliage on the far shore; and exposure is well controlled. I think you might have obtained a stronger foreground by getting down closer to the water and the large rocks seen in your foreground, especially the one that is wet and shiny. The immediate foreground looks sharp enough, but the limited depth of field of the f/11 results in noticeable falloff in the foliage. To my eye it would be more stunning with sharpness in the autumn leaves from a smaller aperture. |

Quite a noticeable improvement in sensitivity of the sky over your October image. I second Judy's comment on your foreground. I used a gradient layer in Lightroom to mute the light areas on the horizon and added some contrast and sharpening to the sky which seems to bring out the stars a bit. |
